Skyscraper designs by NewSchool architecture students

-- Davy Architecture

Pacific Equity Partners proposal by architects Eric Davy and Richard Bundy The actual design for the site proposes 360 apartments in 20 stories, largely retains the post office building and leaves space for a public park on the south side of the block, bounded by Eighth and Ninth Avenues and E and F streets. The U.S. Postal Service owns the site and will have the final say on whether this or any other redevelopment goes forward. The project received a preliminary review this week by the Historic Resources Board design committee.

Tony Hawk’s Tower by Trevor Satrom “It’s no secret San Diego has some of the best weather in the U.S. When we were asked to design an iconic high-rise, my first response was to incorporate the outdoors into the project in an engaging way. A personal passion for long-boarding -- skateboarding on a longer-than-usual skateboard -- combined with the programmatic requirements of a 500-unit apartment complex fused together to become ‘Tony Hawk’s Tower.’”
